Print dialog box too big

Adobe Reader 8.1.2; Windows XP; screen resolution 800 by 600 pixels.
Normally, whenever I print a PDF, I click on the printer icon on the toolbar or go to File > Print. The Print dialog appears, and I click on the OK button at the bottom of the box.
Recently, for some unknown reason, the Print dialog appears too big on my screen, and I cannot see the OK button at the bottom of the box.
However, when I change the screen resolution to 1024 by 768 pixels, I can see the OK (to print button), but all other text, icons, etc., are too small to read.
Ultimately, I need to see the OK (to print button)and the text, icons, etc., need to be sized larger, to the 800 by 600 pixels resolution.
TIA,
Jerry D.

I am trying to resolve a similar problem on a Toshiba laptop running Vista. Dialog boxes are being displayed that fill the entire screen truncating the OK, Cancel and Apply buttons that should appear at the bottom of the dialog box. This is happening on all contol panel and games settings dialog boxes. I have tried the Toshiba zoom settings (FN+Space), but this has not foxes the problem.

Can't see printer name in the print dialog box as the printer name is too long

This is actually causing siginificant pain as I am using a tablet and moving around a number of floors/buildings needing to be able to print from where I am.
When printing from Acrobat reader, the print dialog box that comes up does not have a horizontal scroll bar and does not fit in the names of the printers in my organisation. We are unable to change the printer name, so it basically means that when using Acrobat, we can't select a printer.
All other windows applications show more characters and also have a horizontal scroll bar in the print dialog box so you can scroll across to see the rest of a long printer name. Why is acrobat not using the standard windows print dialog?
Has anyone come across this? Help!

This is the Acrobat forum, not the Reader forum. In the future you should check there. I am not sure why you can not change the printer name, unless you do not have administrator rights. The name of the printer has nothing to do with where the print copy is sent. It is just for the purpose you mentioned of identifying the printer to print to. If you are not the administrator, ask your IT folks to change the name for you and explain why.

SInce Tiger to Leopard Upgrade, Print Dialog Box Is too Basic, No Options

Since I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard recently, it seems the print dialog box for my HP printers (Officejet 8500 Pro Wireless, Photosmart 6150) is small and basic and does not offer the print options I am used to having like selecting a specific page to print instead of printing them all. Any way to restore that functionality and get back to the larger more flexible dialog box?

Thought I did and all that did was offer different printers, but I am wrong and you are right. Blue triangle is exactly what I was looking for.

How to suppress print dialog box from popping up under a condition

Greetings...
There may be a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do, so I'm open to outside-the-box suggestions.
I have a pretty simple page which lists a set of statuses and descriptions of each. The user can edit these status flags and their descriptions on the page as well. When I view the page in "printer friendly" mode, I see a nice simple report of what the statuses are and their descriptions. Everything works great so far.
In our work request system built in ApEx, there's a page where someone can view the details of a work request, including the current status. When someone clicks on the help of that item, what I'd love to do is simple show the "printer friendly" version the status page mentioned above in a pop up window. My problem is that the print dialog box automatically shows up when a page is displayed in "printer friendly" mode and I do not want this to happen in this case.
I see the javascript code in the Printer Friendly page template which causes the print dialog box to show up automatically, but I don't want to remove it in the template just for this one case. This would suppress the print dialog box on all "printer friendly" page views and the users are used to it showing up when they ask to print the page.
I guess I could create a custom request to pass to the master status page which would pretty much do everything that the "printer friendly" mode is doing, but that seems like a lot of work when I'm so close to using something that is built in.
Am I not seeing some simple other way of doing it or perhaps asking too much? Any suggestions?
Shane.

Hi,
I think you have to call the FM GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS and pass NO_DIALOG = 'X'.
Something like:
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
    EXPORTING
      no_dialog      = 'X'
    IMPORTING
      out_parameters = ls_params
      valid          = lv_valid
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS         = 1.
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON PARAMETERS ls_params NO DIALOG.
* Display Table
lr_table->display( ).
add: Spool numbers can be found in TSP01 or in system field SY-SPONO available in the submitting program...
Hope it helps,
Kr,
m.

KB2909210 on Server 2008 R2 breaks my intranet sites and print dialog box

Let's try this again. I have been asking the following question of Microsoft and every time I do, I have only been told to try another forum.
I have several intranet sites that my users use for various data entry and querying purposes. I installed Internet Explorer 10 onto my 2008 R2 Terminal Server over this past weekend (10/18/2014) which also installed the Security Update KB2909210
and rebooted the server. On Monday morning (10/20/2014), when my terminal users logged into the sites, the sites began malfunctioning. All the dropdown arrows turned into question marks. Some fields which normally have a small "x"
on the right-hand side used to erase the data entered in the text field were also displaying as question marks. The objects still functioned but it was disconcerting to my users. The update also slowed down these same intranet sites to where it
began interfering with productivity. I activated Compatibility View for all intranet sites, but it did not resolve the problem.
I also found that when my terminal users tried to print a pdf document from the intranet sites, the print dialog box was jumbled and no fields were pre-populated with data like they always are when printing. I updated to the latest Adobe Reader, but
the print dialog box remained jumbled.
All of my users with stand-alone PCs have IE 10 installed and the intranet sites work fine. The sites display properly and process quickly, and the print dialog box is not jumbled. It is only my terminal users who log in from a thin client
to their profiles on the server and use the IE version installed on the server who have the problem with IE10. The KB2909210 Update is not installed on, and does not come up as, an update for any of my stand-alone Windows 7 PCs.
I uninstalled IE 10 from my server, but since this was one of my production servers, I could not restart it until after the plant was shut down for the evening forcing my users to suffer with the slowness for the day. This morning (10/21/2014) the
intranet sites are working fine through IE 9. I also had to revert back to Adobe Reader v9.5 as the v11 (and v10) print dialog box does not display properly in IE 9.
I do not want to stay on IE 9 on my server as IE9 gets more un-secure by the day and we've found IE 11, on any of our machines, to be too buggy.
How can I install IE 10 with its security updates and prevent it from breaking my intranet sites and print dialog box? What is so different about Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 that IE 10 causes this corruption of intranet sites and the print dialog
box on the Server but not on the Win 7 machines?
The bulletin here:
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/ms14-011
is useless for determining why it breaks my intranet sites. Nor does it explain why the update destroys the print dialog box.

Hi,
In my opinion, it's hard to say your problem caused by KB2909210. Have you tried to uninstall this update for test if your intrant site's problem resolved?
If your problem truthfuly caused by this updates, you can choose to hid the update as a workaround method.

How to suppress the Print Dialog Box?

Running an (ASP.NET /Crystal Reports 2008) application and using CrystalReportViewer control. Is there way to suppress the print dialog box when I click the print icon on the report tool bar?
Edited by: juRamz on Aug 26, 2009 2:54 PM

Hello,
Sort of, CR needs the info. Only option is to create your own print button that has all the info filled in. It's a Windows Framework Common dialog box that CR calls so it's the OS that is prompting for the info.
Using ReportClientDoc here's a possible solution, note that this too has a dialog box to select the printer:
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) // Print To Printer button
    System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument pDoc = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();
    PrintReportOptions rasPROpts = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptionsClass();
    CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PrintOptions newOpts = new PrintOptionsClass();
    //CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.PrintOptions newOpts = new PrintOptionsClass();
    pDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = cboCurrentPrinters.Text;
    rasPROpts.PrinterName = cboCurrentPrinters.Text;
    rasPROpts.PaperSize = (CrPaperSizeEnum)
        pDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes[cboCurrentPaperSizes.SelectedIndex].Kind;
    rasPROpts.PaperSource = (CrPaperSourceEnum)
        pDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSources[cboDefaultPaperTrays.SelectedIndex].Kind;
    // new API added to allow changing printing options
    newOpts = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PrintOptions();
    newOpts.DissociatePageSizeAndPrinterPaperSize = true;
    rptClientDoc.PrintOutputController.ModifyPageMargins(0, 0, 0, 0);
    rptClientDoc.PrintOutputController.PrintReport(rasPROpts);
    MessageBox.Show("Printing report.", "RAS", MessageBoxButtons.OK,MessageBoxIcon.Information );
Thank you
Don

What happened to the ColorSync option in my print dialog box?

I am using a Canon Selphy CP 740 for photo printing with my Alu iMac, and since new, I noticed most / all of the photos came out too dark. However I discovered the ColorSync option to lighten the image, and this fixed the problem. Since upgrading to Leopard (10.5.1), this option no longer appears in my print dialog box. I have looked at the ColorSync utility in the Utilities folder, but this printer doesn't appear in the devices listed there. Is there any answer to my problem?

Found out Color Sync was left up to the individual manufacturers to use or not use in their drivers.

How can I get print dialog box to show accurately?

My print dialog box shows the image too large. If I go to print it prints correctly. I have tried updating drivers and reinstalling Illustrator. It has been happening since new update to CC.

When viewing the print settings, in the Summary List, it shows the Paper width as 9 inches rather than 8.5.
The Navigator window shows (in my test file) 4 plus signs across the top of an 8.5 by 11 inch page.
The Print Preview in the Print Dialog shows only 3. My printer is set to standard 8.5 by 11 page size.
Everything prints perfectly in CS6 when I bring the file in.

Incomplete print dIalog box when printing PDFs

During the past several weeks, whenever I try to print a PDF, the print dialog box (when Copies & Pages is selected in the pull-down menu) is blank ... I can't select how many copies or which pages to print. This only started happening recently, before that everything was fine. It doesn't matter how the PDF was created ... by OS X, by InDesign, by Photoshop, or arriving in email, the result is the same ... incomplete dialog box. My workaround so far when I want more copies or only certain pages, is to "place" the desired pages in InDesign and do the printing from there ... big pain and not an acceptable long-term alternative.
Anyone know of anything that might have happened with recent software updates?

Karen....I found this thread while looking for some help with the same problem. Did you ever find a solution? I have Acrobat 7 and 8 running on a Mini with 10.4.11 and am having the same problem in Acrobat 7 only, Acrobat 8 behaves fine. When going to the Print dialog, the area below the "Copies & Pages" button is blank. I can change the "Copies & Pages" button to other settings but the dialog box does not hold the change, it reverts back to "Copies & Pages". I have replaced Acrobat 7 without any luck.

Adobe X no print dialog box and program closes when printing

Have one user who started encountering this problem today:
Opens up PDF
Clicks on the Print icon (or File - Print)
The Print Dialog box never appears
Adobe 10.1.1 program then immediately closes - nothing in the event log
Able to get the PDF to print only if right clicking on the file and selecting Print (but don't get to select any Printing options)
Have tried selecting a different printer with the same results
Have uninstalled and reinstalled the program
Any help is appreciated

I have a similar problem with the the same printer. Excel works fine until you ask to print preview, this takes about a minute to appear, and about another minute if you ask it to print too. Once you've printed and are back in Excel anything you try to do now has a delay. I've tried then changing the printer i want to use to a networked one which makes Excel return to it's normal self.
I've also tried sharing this printer to make sure it wasn't the PC but it is the same on any I've tried.

Print dialog box truncates device names

Is Firefox using an older .DLL or printing routing when one does a "File > Print"? The reason I ask is that our networked printers have long UNC path names. When you click Print the dialog box truncates the names and you don't know where you're printing too.
Other applications seem to use a newer .DLL/printing routing where when you Print you can horizontally scroll and see the full names of the printers.
Broken applications include Acrobat v9.x products; Firefox products.
Applications that work are: IE; Chrome; notepad; Adobe Reader 10, etc.
Is there a way to force firefox to use the newer/scrollable version of the Print Dialog Box?
thanks...

The print dialog hasn't changed in many years, if ever. IIRC, it was the same back in Phoenix 0.3 (fall of 2002), the first version of Firefox I used. AFAIK, it's from the Netscape days (like over 14 years ago)
See if a Bug has been filed about it. ''(I looked thru the first half of that list and didn't find a Bug report like that.)''<br />

Print Dialoge box is unusable.

Using Win7 64 and Adobe Reader 10.1.3 and can open a pdf to read quite OK but the print dialoge box is unusable, just one big page with a couple of boxes on it, no printing usually.
I have tried both usb and wi fi connection on 2 printers but cannot change printer because there is nothing on the dialogue to use.
Can you help please?

My CUPS printers bleed their settings into both printers when selected through Print Dialog Box

I currently have 2 printers setup through CUPS. One printer has printing options set as 100x230 page size and one as A4.
When the FF printer dialog pops up, the default printer has its settings displayed fine and printing by clicking print produces the correct output to the printer.
If however when I go into the print dialog box from scratch(default is displayed) and select the other printer and check the printer "Page Setup", it has inherited the Paper Size(100x230) from the default printer and not the settings for this now selected printer which should be "A4".
This is quite frustrating as when my users go in and select the correct printer for the print job, they need to make sure that they select the printer, then the page size and then click print.
It might not sound like a big deal but they are printing using both options simultaneously throughout the day and one printer is fine, but the other one requires this messing with on every print.
What I think needs to be done, is every time the printer is selected in the dialog box from the list, firefox should request the full printer info from CUPS and completely refresh the printer settings thus overwriting the previous selected printer settings.
After all, these settings are only applicable at the point the user wishes to hit the print button.
Is there anything I'm missing here?
It seems this has always been a problem.
Help me as it's driving me mad :-(
Thanks in advance
Regards
JASON

Is this on one sole PC that has multiple printers available to it? <br />
Or are you printing to multiple shared printers across a network from multiple PC's?
Also if that is from multiple PC's, do they all run the same operating system? <br />

Print html file without seeing a print dialog box

i need to script an action that would allow a user to print a sparcly formated html file to a printer while bypassing the normal print dialog box.
the unix lpr command seems like it might work, but the man page only mentions PS and txt files.
Ultimately i'd want to trigger the print action from a php script, but it could be a folder action also.
Does anyone have any suggestions or point me in the right direction.

lp is the right command to use but you may need to convert the html file in PDF format before printing it. Just test it. Also type man lp to see more options.
enscript is a nice utility that may help you. man enscript for more.
